The problem with daylight is that you only work when the weather cooperates and that is not always when best fits your schedule. Artificial light is harsh and weird if you tell it to be and does not improve or worsen automatically if you wait as does daylight. In the case of your photo, I would have preferred the light fall more on the face and less on the back of the head as it would had you rotated the coin about 45 degrees counterclockwise. This is easier that moving the sun or waiting until it gets where you want it. I don't have many SS Laodicea coins and don't have this type but don't consider the one below offensively harsh or weird. If you do, it would be possible to diffuse the light a bit more a soften contrasts. It is all a matter of preferences.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]690043[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
